Freshman year in a nutshell

I know I've read books by this author before. While I'm not overly attached to the characters, I think everything is so close to real life. You get all the emotions, indecision and life choices facing a college freshman. While Raegan is an "older soul" she still has the naivety of a girl her age with boys, but she understands so much of what goes on around her. Because of that she has all these men, Arlo, Derek, Craig and Lincoln following her around hoping she notices. The crush she's harbored for Lincoln for years is now present at every turn. Both of them view their parents as what to do. Rae's parents love one another and work for their love. Lincoln's father has a new wife ever other year. Add a crazy stalker and saving wild life. It's a lot to absorb. Quick read and not extremely heavy.
